To all whom it may concern:

This invention relates to hair combs and the objects of our inventionare to provide hair combs, commonly styled side combs, with a metallicadjustable band that will assist in retaining the combs in the hair anda hat upon the head, and to provide a device of the above type that issimple in construction, durable and highly efficient for the purposesfor which it is intended.

We attain the above objects by a mechanical construction that will behereinafter specifically described and then claimed, and reference willnow be had to the drawing wherein Figure 1 is a bottom plan of thedevice. Fig. 2 is a cross sectional view of the same. Fig. 3 is a frontelevation of the device as applied to a head, and Fig. 4 is alongitudinal sectional view of the device.

A device in accordance with this invention comprises a resilientmetallic band 1 having overlapping ends 2 and 3, the end 2 having astrap at embracing the end 3 and the end 3 a strap 5 embracing the end2. These straps retain the ends together and allow the diameter of theband 1 to be increased or decreased as occasion may demand.

Riveted or otherwise connected to the band 1 at diametrically opposedpoints, as

at 6 are curved depending resilient arms 7 and riveted or otherwiseconnected, as at 8 to the lower ends of said arms are side combs 9,preferably made of bone, celluloid or shell.

As shown in Fig. 3 the side combs 9 are adapted to engage in the hair atthe sides of the head and support the adjustable band 1 in a horizontalposition. This band not only assists in holding the hair in place, butprovides an anchor for hat pins inserted under the band. Furthermore,the band can be ornamented or utilized for supporting crowns, aigrettesor other decorations upon the head.

What we claim is A hair comb comprising a vertically disposed split bandcapable of being supported by the hair of a person, straps encirclingsaid band for adjustably connectin the ends thereof together therebypermittlng of increasing or decreasing the diameter of the band,inwardly curved relatively long narrow resilient arms having the upperportion of their outer faces secured to the inner face of said band atdiametrically opposite points. said arms having their lower portionsdepending below the band and curving inwardly toward each other, and acurved side comb having the central portion of its outer face securedupon the inner face of each of the arms at the lower terminus thereof,said combs projecting toward each other.
